I knew Vatican City as I am Catholic and my ex visited there after college.  My question is because I am a die hard Giants fan.  If I Google a question I will not post an answer.

He disappeared from Manhattan in 1930, but according to the New Yoirk Post, he was killed by a cop and buried under the boardwalk at Coney Island.  I wanted to go to Coney Island on my next trip down.  I'm not sure I want to, now

sorry.. I was really busy in the last few weeks. *G*  I forgot I'd even answered a question...

ok.  This one is more for the international people, cuz I'm sure the Canadians can get it no problem.. *L*

Where I live, Prince Edward Island, the captal city of Charlottetown is called the Birthplace of Canada because the Charlottetown Conference of 1864 laid the plans for the formation of the country.  On July 1, 1867, The confederation was made between 4 provinces.  Prince Edward Island was not one of them.  What are the 4 original provinces of Canada?

and as a bonus, do you know what year PEI joined Confederation?

Lady Jane Grey, but she was only queen for a week or so and got her head chopped off for it.

They got to be quite good at chopping heads off in those days...

It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that I must agree with Stoday. Lady Jane Grey was indeed declared Queen and reigned from 10 to 19 July 1553. On 19 July 1553 Queen (Bloody) Mary ascended to the throne. This was during one of the murkier times of English history, the details of which are too lenghty and complex to discuss here.

So, kitkatz, even though it pains me to say so, I think you have to give it to Stoday. Another point is that Stoday is so old, he was probably there at the time!

Oh dear kitkatz, your info source is a bit duff.

Not only was Q Mary I not the first queen in 1553, she wasn't the first queen of England either. So,

Who was the first queen of England?

Stoday, I wonder if you're thinking of Matilda? She inherited the title upon the death of her Father Henry I in 1135, but, because of civil war, she was never crowned Queen of England, or are you harking back to Aelfthryth, the wife of Edgar the Peaceful? Aelfthryth was the first king's wife to be crowned and anointed.

Trust England to have a complicated and murky history.  Unlike we transplarent colonies.  Galvo, if you get this one, you have to post an Australian question, just to flummox everyone.

In my view the English didn't exist before the Conquest, after which we pushed the noble inhabitants of England into the western and northern lands. We and the remaining plebs became the English.

So, starting in 1066, Matilda is, indeed, the first Queen of England even if uncrowned.

If you don't accept that Matilda was queen because of the lack of coronation, then you have also to accept that the American Wallis Simpson never caused a king to abdicate.

Incidentally, the Simpsons divorced in Ipswich, where I live.
